This would be inappropriate for logging.

This is not something that can be fixed on the file server given the
lack of a "file handle" equivalent issued by the file server.  That is
why the semantics of insert are enforced by the clients.

You can't even enforce "append-only" on the file server because there is
no guarantee that clients will write dirty chunks to the file server in
a particular order.

Outside of the AFS3 RPC protocol you could enforce a time limit with a
daemon that changes the owner of the files on some periodic basis.
